MSNBC: Just reported that FEMA faked it's own press conference on the fires.
They gave reporters 15 minutes notice of the conference, provided their own feed of the event, and had their own staff sit in as reporters and ask a half a dozen programs. WH apparently is pissed, although I'm sure they've pulled the same stuff elsewhere.

3. Definitely. These people are all about the message.
They probably worked harder on this press conference than on the fires.

19. She had the nerve to say that?!
I guess she thinks we've forgotten about that "spontaneous" Bush videoconference with the hand-picked troops in Iraq -- the one they got caught on tape rehearsing beforehand?!

Why I don't know - there are no words to describe this bunch of liars.

One question though - can we call Admiral Johnson a hypocrite. Did he betray us? Word is that you can't speak the truth about men in uniform.

Add.
